On the occasion of the PhD defense of Marco Del Tredici, we are organising an online mini-symposium on meaning variation in social contexts with talks by Dirk Hovy (Bocconi University), Katia Shutova (University of Amsterdam), Katrin Erk (University of Texas at Austin), and Mario Giulianelli (University of Amsterdam). Everybody is welcome to join. You can find more information, including abstracts, on the website of the Computational Linguistics Seminar (CLS). Zoom details will be distributed via the CLS mailing list shortly before the event.
Marco’s PhD thesis "Linguistic Variation in Online Communities: A Computational Perspective” will be defended on Friday the 6th of November at 16:00 and the public ceremony will be live-streamed via YouTube. Contact Marco at marcodeltredici at gmail.com for more details if you are interested in attending.

Speakers at the launch event will be Irene Zwiep (Director of the Amsterdam Institute for Humanities Research), Thomas Poell (Co-Director RPA Global Digital Cultures), Sonja Smets (Member Steering Board RPA Human(e) AI), and Peter Sloot (director IAS). Beate Roessler (Chair Department of Philosophy), Huub Dijstelbloem (Philosophy and WRR), Marjolein Lanzing (Philosophy) will be moderating the discussion.

Abstract. *All truths are knowable* appears to entail that *all truths are known*; this is Fitch's paradox. Recent work has generalised the paradox; e.g. *all truths are believable* entails that *all beliefs are true* and *all knowledge is correctly assertible* entails that *all assertions are correct*. I suggest a general strategy to resolve such paradoxes. The suggestion is that "-able" should be understood dynamically with a backward-looking component. In case of the Fitch paradox, my suggestion is that *p is know-able* means that there is some act that, if executed, imparts the knowledge that *before the act was executed, p*. The modal flavour of such *-able* varies with what the relevant acts are (alethic = possible acts; deontic = permitted acts; etc). In the talk, I lay out the different "Fitch-like" problems, conceptually defend the dynamic/backward strategy (which I trace to the work of Dorothy Edgington on the Fitch paradox) and sketch the general a logical framework to implement this strategy.

Some philosophers (like Kevin Scharp) have proposed that concepts themselves--not just the propositions or beliefs they figure into--can be inconsistent, and thereby defective. Others (like Herman Cappelen) have rejected this proposal for relying on inferentialism. I argue that what's needed for the proposal is not inferentialism, but rather bilateralism. This means that even those of us are not inferentialists can take this kind of inconsistency to be a source of conceptual defectiveness. However, I also argue that we are left with a puzzle for explaining what would make this kind of inconsistency a defect.

On Thursday, the 26th of November from 1pm to 4pm, the Dutch Institute for Emergent Phenomena (DIEP) is organising a series of virtual talks by the DIEP fellows and researchers who will be joining DIEP@UvA soon. ILLC is the host institute for one of these fellows, Soroush Rafiee Rad, who will give a talk on “Characterizing Probabilistic Models with a Symmetry Axiom”.  The topics covered by the talks include multiscale modelling of reaction-diffusion networks, self-learning algorithms in duopoly, axiomatic approaches to probabilistic models, and many-body stochastic systems.

Please note that this talk has been rescheduled from 19th November to 26th November.

Despite wide variation among natural languages, there are linguistic properties universal to a large collection of languages. An important challenge is to explain why these linguistic universals hold. In this talk we look at semantic universals in the domain of quantifiers, related to the properties of monotonicity, quantity and conservativity. We investigate whether these semantic universals could be explained by differences in quantifier complexity. We present a large-scale study (work in progress) of quantifiers and their complexity, in which we examine whether the quantifier properties of monotonicity, quantity, and conservativity can be predicted by quantifier complexity / simplicity. We look at two measures of complexity: compressibility (by a lossless compression algorithm) and minimal expression length within a logical grammar.

Φ-Math is a philosophy of mathematics reading group created by MoL students, open to any enthusiast! We meet once every two Fridays to discuss a text on philosophy of mathematics, be it a classic paper or a new heterodox perspective on the subject. Besides, we also host other philosophy of mathematics related events that require no readingpreparation. The group gives priority to the interests of its members, urging them to choose the content and the structure of its activities.

For the upcoming reading session, we expect attendants to have read in advance: Benacerraf, Paul. "What Numbers Could Not Be." The Philosophical Review 74, no. 1 (1965): 47-73. The article can be accessed freely by University of Amsterdam students through JSTOR, by logging in with the institution.
